Here, visitors can learn Nelson Mandela's incredible story through a creative and thoughtful visitor center that contains all manner of engaging materials. On the outside, Release, a fascinating shape-shifting sculpture composed of 50 steel columns, stands to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Mandela's arrest. This marvelous artwork was designed by Marco Cianfanelli and Jeremy Rose to depict Mandela's face when viewed from the right angle. An enlightening stop for any traveler, the Nelson Mandela Capture Site is sure to captivate and inspire!
